PGR2 looks amazing! I'm waiting for the X-Box pack to arrive here (they already have it in the UK). I bought my first X-Box for PGR1, sold it a few months later (there wheren't many AAA titles out back then).

PGR2 I think is the best racing game. Not sure about GT, never played but heard its pretty good. NFSU is pretty good when it comes to modifiying cars. I feel that the controlling is not that good in NFSU.

err... you mean "steering" and not "stirring" right?

edit: PGR 2 has one of the best steering systems I have ever experienced, but NFSU is good too.

Default What do you use for steering?

I have just bought a microsoft sidewinder force feedback wheel. Tried to use it with nascar racing 4 and can't get it to work. Am using XP home.

Someone please tell why is automatic faster than manual in this game? You hit a wall witth auto on and its like nothing happened. Fustrating when racing online and switching your own gears against an opponent who isnt.
For fake gear ratios there is no power greater than X.
Good game though :-)

I know that steering is how the car is controlled. I was just correcting you there.

I was just wondering..... if you bought PGR1, why did you sell it since it was an AAA title. I mean... PGR1 WAS an AAA title, and there was no need to sell it, if there weren't many AAA titles back then.
